Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Chris Evans' fourth comic book/superhero role before he became Captain America—he was basically auditioning for the MCU through sheer repetition.
Push came out during the brief 2008-2010 boom of 'gritty superhero' films trying to replicate Dark Knight energy without the budget or vision—it's basically the era's most stylish also-ran.
